I think the reason why the future isn't spelt out is because they don't know (or haven't decided). The last 12 months have been massive steps for Microsoft (open source, multi platform). I would expect they would wait and s

Maybe? But I think its more just a natural evolution. Scott Hanselman has been making noise regarding open source for years [1]. I'm not saying Scott is responsible, just that many people have been suggesting it for a long long time.

You'll get different responses on the value of the MBA. From what I understand, no one cares that you "have" an MBA, but the knowledge you learn by finishing it is invaluable. So that's a good start. I'd be thinki

For us, CTO has less of a Developer focus, and more of an Operations focus. Not that a software developer couldn't be a CTO, its just that they have less of a focus on: - Costs. Infrastructure (hosting etc.) - Disaster Recovery - if a

Fair point. - (I think!!) you didn't steal it! My gut says to me you were inspired or motivated or something else. But didn't stolen - You said you got permission. To me, you don't steal & ask permission - But the bigg

Not sure if I've done something wrong here. I've feel like I've been downvoted a few times for innocent remarks. (I think we are agreeing!) What should I have said / done?

Never, ever say you stole the concept. Inspired, motivated, encouraged - perhaps? Especially since you got his blessing!!

For a larger corporate, ~$1,800 is very reasonable. Xamarin have a tough line to walk - larger companies will happily pay that price, while still being reasonable for indie developers. Xamarin support is excellent - their forums, twitter et

As a Microsoft developer who has never looked at a terminal before, I find these projects amazing. The OP wrote a tertis clone in terminal - clever / cool THEN its well documented! THEN its in one file - wtf? Well done!

Maybe - but Google's Driverless Car looks awesome! I'm not a fan of Google Glass, but that's interesting. And Android?

I don't understand your point. I haven't used their app for years because there just wasn't any value in it (for me).

You are correct. It doesn't have to be cash, Stackoverflow & XBox Live is a classic example gamification.

Codezero is correct - "need" is the issue. Foursquare isn't paying me (or exchanging something of significant value) for that constant stream of location data. THAT is the issue I have with it

(In Australia) there's conflict between VERY cheap clothing vs "work conditions". How much more would you pay? 10% 20%?

You are discounting a LOT of Bill Gate's history. Yes, he did miss the "internet", (as someone who worked with Microsoft in Australia) he literally turned the company around in 6 weeks. But if you still say Bill "missed

I think its very clever. I really like how your example takes me through the steps first, then asks to sign me up for an account. Much better than asking to create an account first, then walk me through the app.
